Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a technology for implementing rattling prevention of a control unit, which is to be mounted on a vehicle or the like.
  • Patent Document 1 As a structure for preventing rattling and abnormal noise etc. caused thereby in a storage case for storing a control unit for a power steering or the like in a vehicle, for example, the ones described in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2 are known.
  • the structure in Patent Document 1 is a part storage case of a structure including an inner plate and an outer plate provided on a base, a peripheral wall of a bottomless box-shaped cover inserted between the inner plate and the outer plate, a window provided on the peripheral wall of the cover, an outward projection to be fitted to the window on the inner plate, an inward projection for pressing the peripheral wall inward on the outer plate, wherein only upper and lower bevels of the outer projection come into sliding contact with the upper and lower sides of the window.
  • Patent Document 2 there is described a fitting structure between a case and a lid including: a guide (flange) provided on a plate-shaped lid to be fitted to an opening of a box-shaped case; the guide coming into abutment with an inner wall near an end edge of the opening of the case; the lid being fitted to the case along the guide, wherein a surface of the guide which comes into abutment with a corner of the end edge of the opening of the case is formed with a tapered rib so as to project therefrom and incline toward the plate-shaped lid from the guide, the case is formed with a thinned portion having a reduced thickness at a position corresponding to the rib, and the thinned portion climbs over the rib and hence is deformed when the case and the lid are fitted.
  • a guide flange
  • Patent Document 2 also describes a fitting structure between a case and a lid including: a guide (flange) provided on a plate-shaped lid to be fitted to an opening of a box-shaped case; the guide coming into abutment with an inner wall near an end edge of the opening of the case; the lid being fitted to the case along the guide, wherein a surface of the guide which comes into abutment with a corner of the end edge of the opening of the case is formed with a tapered rib formed of resin contained material so as to project therefrom and incline toward the plate-shaped lid from the guide, and the corner of the end edge of the opening of the case is adapted to chip the rib away when the case and the lid are fitted.
  • the lid further includes a recess in the vicinity of the rib for storing chips generated by the corner of the end edge of the opening of the case.
  • Patent Document 1 In the structure of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to increase the dimensional accuracy of the base or the like significantly in order to prevent rattling, and hence it is eventually difficult to prevent rattling.
  • the inner plate and the outer plate are members which are provided on the base so as to project therefrom (provided in substantially upright posture) and are short in the vertical direction, the displaceable amount which can be resiliently deformed is small. Therefore, when the margin of error in dimension of the inner plate or the outer plate, or in thickness of the peripheral wall of the cover, etc. is large, it is highly likely that the inner plate or the outer plate is deformed beyond the resiliently deformable limit depending on the cases, and hence the inner plate or the outer plate becomes damaged or is resulted in plastic deformation (permanent deformation), which may lead malfunction of the clamping state and thus rattling.
  • Patent Document 1 when the peripheral wall of the cover is inserted between the inner plate and the outer plate, the inward projection of the outer plate and the peripheral wall of the cover, and the outward projection of the inner plate and the peripheral wall of the cover come into slide contact with each other (it is not possible to assemble without sliding contact). Therefore, there arises a problem such that generation of the chips due to sliding contact cannot be avoided.
  • the chips may cause malfunction or short-circuit and hence burning of the stored electric circuit particularly when they are formed of metal. Therefore, in the case of the vehicle-mounted equipment which requires reliability, generation of such chips is not accepted.
  • Patent Document 2 is a structure in which the end edge (thinned portion) of the opening of the case climbs over the rib formed on the guide of the lid and hence is deformed when the case and the lid are fitted together, or a structure in which the corner of the end edge of the opening of the case chips the rib formed of resin contained material away. Therefore, the chips are inevitably generated or the probability of generation of the chips is significantly high, and hence it cannot be applied to the vehicle-mounted equipment.
  • Patent Document 2 Although there is a description in Patent Document 2 such that the recess is formed in the vicinity of the rib of the lid to store the chips generated by the corner of the end edge of the opening of the case, there is no guarantee that the chips do not enter into the interior of the storage case (for example, on the electric circuit therein), and as long as the chips are generated, it is difficult to apply this structure to the vehicle-mounted equipment which requires reliability.
  • Patent Document 2 the structure in which the rib of resin contained material is provided
  • the case or the lid is formed of metal as described above, it is necessary to form only the rib portion of resin contained material, and hence the manufacturing cost may increase.
  • a storage case of this application is a storage case including a base having a plate-shaped substrate member, and a box-shaped cover having an opening on the lower surface and being mounted on the base so as to cover the upper surface of the substrate member, wherein rattling-preventing projections are provided at a plurality of positions on a peripheral edge of the substrate member so as to come into abutment with an opening-side edge of the cover which is positioned at a mounting position with respect to the base from the outside, the rattling-preventing projections are formed on the inner side thereof with bevels which presses the opening-side edge to resiliently deform a peripheral wall of the cover inward and causes a reaction force to act in a direction in which the cover moves away from the substrate member, the opening-side edge of the cover is formed with a crimping projection formed by being bent toward the lower surface of the substrate member so as to retain the cover at the mounting position against the reaction force.
  • the peripheral wall of the cover in an assembled state, is resiliently deformed inwardly and the reaction force from the rattling- preventing projection (bevel) of the base is exerted to the opening-side edge of the cover in the direction in which the cover moves away from the base.
  • the crimping projection bent toward the lower surface of the substrate member retains the cover at the mounting position against the reaction force.
  • the cover in the assembled state is fixed to the base mainly in a state in which the peripheral wall thereof is resiliently deformed (tensed state) due to a reaction force from the rattling preventing projection described above and a drag by the crimping projection. Therefore, rattling (relative displacement of the cover with respect to the base) is prevented, whereby abnormal noise, abnormal vibrations, damage of members, etc. caused by the rattling are also prevented.
  • the method of assembly according to the present application is a method of assembling the storage case described above, including: a positioning step of moving the cover to the mounting position with respect to the base while avoiding contact between the opening-side edge of the cover and the rattling-preventing projections, by resiliently deforming the peripheral wall of the cover inwardly by pressing the outer surface of the opening-side edge of the cover from the outside so that the opening-side edge and the rattling-preventing projections are in contact when positioning is completed; and a crimping step of bending the crimping projection of the cover in a state of being positioned by the positioning step toward the lower surface of the substrate member.
  • the operation of pressing the outer surface of the opening-side edge of the cover from the outside in the positioning step may be performed by manpower, but it may also be performed using a machine or a jig.
  • a machine having a mechanism to hold the cover and determine the position in the fore-and-aft direction or the lateral direction with respect to the base, and then move the cover downward to the mounting position with respect to the base, and including rotatable rollers provided at positions where the outer peripheral surfaces thereof can press the peripheral wall (opening-side edge) of the cover, which is moving downward, inwardly by a predetermined amount, in a state of being fixed at the position of a shaft thereof.
  • the positioning step can be implemented automatically with a simple structure only including an actuator for causing the cover to move relatively downward.
